Nice T shirt!
That is a nice T shirt.
Your design is great.
Just an observation from my removed point of view; I'd enjoy seeing this version on the "back" of the T shirt, with a small image over the pocket on the front, not necessarily the same image as that on the back. I like to see the main large image on the back with a small image over a pocket on the front. I'm sure you know how much more this costs, etc. But I think it looks cool when the main image is on the back. This probably has to do with my biker background. Plus I just don't like to see the back of T shirts and jackets empty - it seems like the job didn't get done and, to my observation, looks incomplete.
Obviously I'm not being overly critical. It's not my project, it's obviously yours and you will do what you want. I also know that you appreciate the feedback and input you are getting from us.
It's not like you are coming off like you are on an ego trip. It is really cool to watch your endeavor develop and unfold and read about your personal observations relating to the changes you are going thru as you walk down this unfolding path. Your openness and genuine sharing isn't something that I have seen before.
You are right about the copyright and its ultimate value. Eli Whitney, the American inventor of the "cotton gin", made almost nothing off his invention even though it was "patented". His invention universally revolutionized the cotton industry and increased production by at least a couple hundred fold. Every cotton farmer or other plantation owner desiring to get into the profitable cotton boom, copied his invention and built their own "cotton gins", thereby bypassing his patent rights. Farmers, as you may know, are very inventive and innovative people, and their success is often dependent upon well honed skills in these areas.
Your project will be what it will be, no matter how much you try to box it in. I like your openness and the way you have shown us your prototypes well before the official offering of the items. The final outcome, as with everything, remains to be seen; but from everything we have seen from you, your mission is an ongoing and well thought out one that merits substantial success.
Without a doubt, a lot of us here would love to own one of your guitars if they become available here in the US; untouched, just from following your quest here on these pages. I think, for me at least, following your progress on these guitars, and seeing you incrementally show us your progression thru pictures and discussions, has added beauty to your prototypes that would not be perceptible when looking at some other picture of a newly released guitar from a company that we know nothing about or had no insight into the initial thoughts and tentativeness all the way thru to the growing anticipation and first hand feeling of the growing excitement and positiveness as the official introduction date approaches, along with the feeling that you cared about our ideas in the development of the ancillary products and classy promotional materials.
We, or at least I, feel like I've been part of your unfolding project - and that is a cool feeling I've never felt as a distantly removed, casual participant. Thanks for letting me, and even us, feel like I've been at least a small part of what you have been trying to do.
You have never seemed egotistical and we have never felt jealous as we followed your quest, and if you communicate as well in your product promotion as you have with us, you definitely have a major arm up in pulling this endeavor up from uncertainty to the level of a solid success.
